Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read some mixed reviews on this product that had me nervous about my purchase originally, but I experienced only positive results. I bought this for my parents house. They come and go a lot, and us kids stop by, etc. and I thought it would be a fun gift they would never think to buy but would love. I bought the product and it came 2 days later via Prime. The reviews I read were all pretty positive about the quality of the unit but were VERY mixed when it came to installation and programming. Some left paragraphs on how hard both were and you should set aside 3-hours to complete, and then other reviews were basically "Great! Super easy install." So I had no idea if I would be able to figure this out, I'm not super handy—I'm tech savvy so I figured I could get the programming done easy but the install I wasn't so sure about. But you know what? I'm in the "super easy install" group! —Hardware Installation— I installed this bad boy in roughly 30 minutes (I used a drill to screw and unscrew, so maybe add time if you're doing that by hand) and this wasn't a new door that had now deadbolt hole or anything. I was replacing a traditional deadbolt, basically unscrew everything from the old deadbolt, and then follow the directions to install this one. I knew taking the old one out would be easy, but installing the new one I wasn't so sure about. The directions admittedly weren't the greatest, but if you follow the steps (looking at the pictures as reference) and think about what you're doing it's pretty basic. Again, it took me under 30 minutes to install and I was talking to my parents about something while doing it. —Programming— Now this part was easy to me. At first it's not obvious how it works, but after looking at the directions I realized it's VERY easy to program. Simply follow the steps in the programming guide. It's basically your programming code followed by "kwikset button" followed by the number associated with the task you want to perform, then "kwikset button" to start the task (i.e add an unlock code, change auto-lock time, etc.) —After a few days— My parents love it. They thought it was cool to begin with but after a week of use they find it to be super convenient and useful. The only thing I with it had was a separate button to illuminate the keys at night. If you press 'Kwikset' they turn on for .3 seconds and if you press a random number you have to then press 'Kwikset' to cancel out what your typing to start the actual code. Basically if it's really dark you need to know where the first button is in your unlock code number so it illuminates, then you can see the rest. Otherwise it's great. For the price this product is amazing. Super nice build quality and works as it says.
